Either way it's PIMP...

Looking for Fuel Tank options. As they don't sell an aftermarket tank and the OEM is near $300.

I have sanded all the paint off the tank and it has come to a purple hue. Also, plastic gets a 'fuzz' when you sand it. Not sure the best way to handle this. I want it WHITE.
Rattle can is not an option for this bike. Ever.
Plastidip in the can seems logical as I can just peel it off and reapply as it gets dirty or wrecked. But still not a fan.

Another idea I had was use this sweet black glossy leather GSXR fairing bra I have lying around and making it into a cool WR500 tank bra. I am good at sewing and It would survive the elements for quite some time.
But is a leather tank cool on a Pimp Dinosaur???
